VALUE OF ACTIVITY.
The Effects OF Idieuess Upon the Con
dition of Young Women.

Wholesome regular occupation of
some sort is necessity. You can not
afford to be idle. Physically you can
not afford it. Not while you are
creature of flesh and blood can you
escape the law that activity means
growth and health, and that idleness
means deterioration.
In the mere mat er of beauty idleness
is loss as truly as excessive drudgery.
The erect. digniiied carriage, the firm,
elastic step, the well-rounded arm, are
not to be won by days passed on the
sofa or hammock with novel in the
hand; nor are the maiden bloom, the
clear, fresh complexion, the modest.
thoughtful. yet animated glance, to be
kept amid late hours in heated rooms
and exciting pleasures.
Idlcness invariably gives rise to a
craving for excitement which may
drive away the e,snuj which is its pen
atty. But excitement persistently fol
lowed is the source of all manner of
nervous disorders, resulting at last
in the production of the languid. ner-
vous, historical creature, into which
the gay young woman 50 often degen-
crates.
This craving for excitement is a prev
alent characteristic of the young woman
of to-day, especially in our cities. SO
marked is it that, as a thoughtful
woman whose life has been devoted to
the training of young women observed
to me, even church work has little
charm for many of those who engage
| in it, unless done in kind of theatrical
way.
The effect of idleness. too, is to turn
the thoughts in morbid degree upon
ones own condition, to magnify trifling
ailments into grave maladies, and
eventually, by sheer force of the mind 8
influence upon the body, to convert the
vigorous, energetic girl into an inter
esting invalid. - Womdnh0od

AN ANCIENT RUIN.

Church at Charleston.

History of the Picturesque Circul
Church at Charleston.
The ruins of Circular Church, one of
the most picturesque ruins of Charles
ton, is about to disappear us one of the
city's landmarks. The church, or
rather all that was left of it after the
great fire of 1861, has been point of
interest to every visitor 10 Charleston
for the past twenty-five years, and with
its tw II rel C, st. F., bars cathedral, is
soon to pass out OF existence rs an or
namental ruin. Its crumbling walls
and its 'coignes of vantage" on its
toppl NC tower have been the resort Of
the doves and sparrows for an indefinite
number of years, and its ivy-clad walls
have made up a picture of sad and
pathetic interest.
According to the information given
in Mavor Cour,enaT's Year Book of
1882, the church was constituted be-
tween the years 1850 and 1890. Its
founders were Presbyterians from Scot
land and Ireland, Congregationalists
from England and New England, and
French l'rotestantS who had EN- grated
to South Carolina upon the revocation
of the edict of Nantes. The first three
IN n sters of the church are supposed to
have been congregat onalists. The
popular name of the or ginal church
was the "Whte :,leeting,' name
VIII oh was evidently applied from the
color of the building In consequence
of the rev dictionary war the church re-
manned without permanent minister
for SIX years, but in 1888 regular
service was resumed The or ginal
building used BY the congregation was
only forty feet square. but in 1712 the
demand for pews necessitatel the con-
structon of new church, which was
erected in 1887 on Archdale street. In
1904 it was Diet rmjned to build new
and handsome editice in circular form,
lightweight feet interior d amctrr. The
church was dedicated in 1906, and in
1888 lofty and graceful spire was
added. 1t was from the latter date an
ornament to the city until It was burned
ir 1861.
1t is now proposed by the congrega-
ton to erect new build ng on the site
of the old one. The object of the con,
gregation is beng mater ally furtheret
by the Congregat:onalists throughout
the Tn ted States. -SdCdnndh GA.

Cincinnutus ,caitin1 to be kidnaped.
Here, then, is Cmcinnatus, the man who
first made this discovery. The artist has
happily caught the expression of this eminent
man just as the office is in the act of seeking
him. He has resolved to sell his life as dearly
as possible. He will yield at last, however,
and tear himself away from his precocious
steers.
In the distance, too far off in fact to work
into this issue of the paper, is the toga of
Cincinnatus. 1t is hanging on a tall pole as a
flag, where he has used it to sight" across the
field while he struck out long furrow. To
look at the furrow few would believe that the
great dictator intended to strike out for the
flag.
The artist has caught the true idea in this
picture, and shows the great statesman and
general in the pose of a thoughtful and philan-
thropical man, who has fully decided that at
the prevailing price of wheat he would care
fully and prayerfully consider any overtures
that might he made by those having the good
of the people at heart.
Cmcinnatus austere man of the
patrcian style of architecture and carefully
reached his hair, as well as the tail of his
Roman mule. He was mperious in the ex-
IRENE and courted an investigation whenever
the papers got after him. He was the pioneer
in this line.
The day came at last when a dark horse
was needed aud the chairman of the Roman
central committee went to Cincinnatus to
seek out the great man. The chairman is
| Just getting over the barbed wire fence and
the eminent Roman agriculturist has at that
moment got his eye on him, our artist
| rapidly transfers the portrait to canvas.
1t was but the work OF moment to unyoke
| old Brn and Bally and accept the Office of
dictator. Putting on his toga, the great man
| began to dictate in less than forty eight
hours. He went to the house, washed his
hands in tin basin of cistern water, with
| side pocket of his toga, and was drawing
salary on the following Monday at o'clock
| The first thing he did was to call for more
troops He then marched against the enemy
and captured everybody. He then returned,
| having been dictator sixteen days at 81 per
day. He drew his pay and resigned to accept
the portfolio of buckwheater on his own
| property
We have no American today who could
accept the command of our regular army,
! whip the Apaches, and be back on the farm
in sixteen days. And yet Cincnnatus con-
quered a hostile nation, paid the public debt,
| and got home in time to do his fall blowing.
| If we read the history of Cincinnatus care
fully and look thoughtfully at his equestrian
| portrait as it is here presented we are forced
| to admit that he was either one of the greatest
men of whom we know or that he wrote the
matter up himself for one of the Roman
magazines Bill Nye in Chicago News

Where "a Lie Might be improved,

The champion liar hnis from Pike county,
Ind, and the following yarn is probably the
greatest effort of his life: "a young lady who
was watching my binding harvester at work
fell upon the table and was carried up with
the grain. As the girl was about the size of
Il bundle, the machine did not recognize the
difference, and so she came through with
neat little string around her waist. One OF
he harvest hands caught her rs the machine
Kicked her out, and set her on the ground
right side up, when it was found that she had
been more frightened than hurt" Now, if
this veracious agriculturist had only added
that the machine threshed the young woman,
and shook from her face the flour without
which no seli-respecting young womans
toilet is complete, and barreled said flour for
market by the aid of the young woman's
hoops, his story would possess completeness
and symmetry which would cause it to pass
current everywhere as n great and unap-
proachable work of art.-Boston Transcript.

C!NCiNNATUS.

Inventor of the Theory that the Office
Should seek the Man.
The first person to inaugurate the baneful
theory that the office should seek the mana
theory which has caused more unhappness
than any other advanced in the great realm
of politics-was party called Lucius Quin-
titus, or Cincinnatus, because he wore his hair
in curls, also because he had at one time re-
sided in Cincinnati
In the fall of 45s b. c., after long, dry
season and prolonged and futile bull move
ment in which Cincinnatus went forth to
summer fallow the west field, hoping by that
process and a judicious rotation in crops to
head off the chinch bug and the bears He
was good deal depressed mentally and physi-
cally. He had been trying TO break a new
pair of wild and fractions 4-year-old steers,
and it had required good deal of firmnees
and perspiration to accomplish this. He had
not yet fully succeeded, in fact, for every
little while the steers would light out for the
marsh at high rate of speed, and Cincinnatus
would have to follow them through the dew
berry patch in his bare legs, for Cincinnatus
did not wear pantaloons winter or summer.

Cincinnatus, as l remember him, in the ac-
companying drawing, which | have made in
| order that those who wish may see the fea-
| lures of the most celebrated poitician of all
| time. He was the man who first advanced
| the doctrine that the Office should seek the
| man and ever since that time it is no uncom-
mon thing to see a man holding on by the
plow handles and looking over his shoulder,
expecting that a good Office will climb the
fence pretty soon and kisnap him.

Restoring AIDED Ink.

A useful discovery is announced
whereby the faded ink on old parch-
ments may be so restored as to render
the writing perfectly legible. The
process consists in moistening the
paper with water and passing over the
lines of writing brush. which has
been wet in solution of sulphide OF
ammonia. The writing will immedi-
ately appear quite dark in color, and
this color in the case of parchment il
will preserve. On paper, however,
the color gradually fade again, though
it may be restored at pleasure by the
application of the sulphide. The ex-
PLANTATION of the chemical action of this
substance is very simple; the iron
which enters into the composition o
the ink is transformed by reaction into
the black sulphide. N. Y. Sun.

The terrible accident near Tifin, Ohio,
seems to have been the result of criminal
carelesSueSs on the part Of the freight con-
ductor, who, without orders, trespasSed ON
the time of the express train. However
the public had best suspend Judgment I'M
til the coroner has made a full inveStiga-
ton.
Positions upon which depend the safety
of human lives should be filed by men Of
temperate habits, steady nerve and sound
discretion. Railroad companies do wrong
to themselves and the public when they
risk the lives and property OF the
public with any other kind. Also,
railroad companies owe it to
the public to see that their employees are
not Overworked or submitted to unnecessary
exposure. No man canlong keep a steady
nerve, if his life is worn out by long hours
Of labor, little rest and sleep and severe
exposure. When men are tagged out, they
often take to drink to revive their strength
and spirits. Under circumstance of this
kind, it is likely that many railroad acct
dents happen. And it may be true Of the
one at Tihin.
